Loud POP When turning...accerlating

On the passenger front....when i turn to the left or accerlate at any type I hear and feel in my steering wheel a lil...a POP noise....then if i'm going over eneven pavement it will squeak instead of pop.....I feel this is my stut that has gone bad....other suggestions please b/c i really have no idea...except it's not my wheel or lug nuts or anything general becasue i've checked all of that


2ndly If it is my stut.....I'm in the spring going to get 18 Z06's with a 1in. drop and ls1 brake upgrade....my question is should i just go ahead and lower it now if i had to replace a strut....also do the brake upgrade constitute bothering that part or could it wait until spring?


Thanks alot guys, btw the problem seems to be getting worse over the past week that i've heard it going on.....

Re: Loud POP When turning...accerlating

btw...i was wondering if i lowered it now and put the ls1 brake kit on with my 16x8 ZR1's will the LS1 brake kit on the front work or will they rub the wheel....will i have to wait until i get the 18's before i can do the brake upgrade?

Re: Loud POP When turning...accerlating

well i got under the car today to check my sturt and to my suprise it's not that.....back during the summer i had a BRACKET BREAK that connects to my sway bar if anyone is familar with this there is one on each side that the rubber bushing attaches to....well it broke and i weled it back and it broke again in 3 different places....not my welds but right above them....what can i do to keep this from continuing to happen b/c as of now my sway bar only has one side on it with a bracket support

and no i dont' want to take it completly off
